Valoraciones de Méritos (Training and Experience) en la Administración Pública y la Empresa: Fiabilidad, Validez y Discriminación de Género

this article presents two studies examining reliability (internal consistency, equivalence, and stability), construct validity, and gender discrimination of merit ratings as a personnel selection procedure. the first study (n=72) found that merit rating showed a large test-retest reliability and rater？s agreement (rxx=.93) but low internal consistency (a=.53). it was also observed evidence of gender discrimination against women. in the second study, two samples (n=42 and n=98) were used for estimating internal consistency, construct validity and gender discrimination. results showed alpha？s coefficients smaller than study 1 and larger gender discrimination.
